						<font color="#003366"><br></br> <b>Introduction<br>
						</b>
						</font>JCalendar is a Java date chooser bean for graphically picking a
						date. JCalendar is composed of several other Java beans, a
						JDayChooser, a JMonthChooser and a JYearChooser. All these beans
						have a locale property, provide several icons (Color 16x16, Color
						32x32, Mono 16x16 and Mono 32x32) and their own locale property
						editor. So they can easily be used in GUI builders. Also part of
						the package is a JDateChooser, a bean composed of an IDateEditor
						(for direct date editing) and a button for opening a JCalendar for
						selecting the date.

				</font> <br> The installation is very easy, just put jcalendar.jar in
					your class path. If you want to run the JCalendar demos (see below)
					or just use the great <span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>JGoodies
					Looks Look and Feel, put also jgoodies-looks-2.4.1.jar in your class path. Both are
					in the lib directory of this JCalendar distribution.<br> <font
					color="#003366"><b><br> Running the Demos</b>
				</font><br> To run the JCalendar demo applet in your browser, you must
					have installed the <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin">Java
						Plug-in</a>. Click <a href="demo.html">here</a> to run the applet. If
					you have the distribution installed locally on your computer,
					there's several ways to run the demos. To start the JCalendar demo
					Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT/98 users can just right click the
					jcalendar.jar and open it with "javaw" or execute the
					"runJCalendarDemo.bat" batch file in the bin directory of this
					distribution. For all other operating systems, just put
					"jcalendar.jar" and "jgoodies-looks-2.4.1.jar" (both in the lib directory of the
					distribution) in your class path and start Java to execute the
					com.toedter.calendar.JCalendarDemo class. <b><br> <br>
						<font color="#003366">Components</font><br> </b> The following
					table shows a list of used components (all Java Beans). All the
					screen shots use the great Plastic 3D Look and Feel (included in
					JGoodies Looks by <a href="http://www.jgoodies.com/">JGoodies</a>),
					which is bundled with the JCalendar bean.</td>
